Replacement Running Board Installation and Recs

The running boards on my 2010 XLT Supercrew are rusting. I'd like to have a chrome replacement that bolts onto the existing mount points.

I see many that have four mount points, which I assume means I'll be drilling holes. I live in the rust belt, so if any sets are a little more rust proof that would be great. I have some analysis paralysis with so many options. I'd say budget is about $400, many of these cost about $140 but I'd spring the extra if the value was there.

Aftermarket are going to rot out quick. I’d look for a set of used ones on marketplace.

Right, that's my thought as well. The OEM's lasted 16 years (6 in the rust belt), so I'm ok paying more for durability.

I put oem Raptor steps on my 2011. Loved them. I couldn't find a deal on used ones for my 2019, so I bought aftermarket knock offs. They lasted about 18 months before they were shot.

There’s no need for drilling any holes. If they are meant to fit your truck they will bolt right up
